Introduction This document accompanies time series that describe the evolution of patent applications in 26 technology subfields of cognitive Information and Communication Technology (ICT). TNO asked Octrooicentrum Nederland in particular the Patinformatics Unit to extract data from patent databases and to construct the time series. The data is to be used to illustrate developments in the area of cognitive ICT Data was collected for the United States, Japan and the 25 member countries of the EU. Only documents with their oldest priority dates after 1989 were selected. From the selected documents two collections were constructed. These two collections are: 1. EP-documents

This collection consists of patent applications that were filed at the European Patent Office. The collection of EP-documents was cleaned up for documents that first were filed at the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and at a later stage entered the EP-system.;

2. WO-documents. The WO-documents are first filed at the WIPO in Geneva;

Both collections are kept separate because of the fact that procedures for both routes differ. These differences prevent simple combination of the two collections in a way that is methodological sound. This document is accompanied by a collection of 26 spreadsheet files. There is one spreadsheet file for each technology field. All spreadsheet file contain two worksheets. The individual worksheets consist of the time series for the data from one of the two collections for every field of technology. Per worksheet there are 28 time-series. One time series for every country and one for the total counts in the technology field.. This documents ends with descriptions regarding the construction of the data for the individual technology fields.

Method Two databases containing patent publications were used. One is the World Patent Index (WPI) of Derwent the other is the EPODOC database of the EPO. Databases were selected in such a way that selection of documents was as precise as possible and preventing noise (unwanted documents) as much as possible. Each database system has a preferred classification system. The Derwent classification was used for WPI and the European Classification (ECLA) for EPODOC. ECLA can be considers as a more detailed version of the International Patent Classification (IPC). In most cases WPI and the Derwent classification was used. In a number of cases EPODOC with the IPC or the ECLA-system was used.. In some cases key-words had to be used in conjunction with very broad classifications like Digital Computers. In all cases the results of the selection commands were transferred tot the EPODOC-database. The reason for this is that some bibliographical information needed to create the time-series is lacking form WPI. The needed information consists of the country of residence of the applicants. In WPI related patent documents (a.k.a. families) are stored in one record whereas in EPODOC every document is stored separate. Due to this fact going from WPI to EPODOC increases the number of hits but this does not indicate the finding of new information. As mentioned in the introduction both document collections are kept separate tot prevent systematic errors. So called EURO-PCT-documents1 were removed from the EP-collection to prevent counting the same application in both collections. In the descriptions per technology field lines were typeset in boldface if the classification symbol mentioned was used in the selection. Also key words used for selecting are documented. Furthermore the selection statement and the results of the selection are documented. Assigning of a patent application to a specific country is done on the basis of the country of residence of the applicant. No corrections are made for those situations in which there is more than one applicant where these applicants are not residing in the same country. These applications are multiply counted, but their number is low and does not seriously influence the overall picture. Due to regulations patent data is published 18 or even 30 months (PCT) after application this results in the fact that the data for recent years (> 2002) is incomplete.

1 Patent applications filed at the WIPO that later enter the European regional faze are called EURO-PCT applications and also show up as separate EP-applications and are therefore counted twice of no precautions are taken.
